Diablo III Launch Marred By Downtime, Errors

Posted on 05/15/2012 by Mr. Pink

The good news is that Diablo III is as awesome as everyone hoped it would be.

The bad news is that the game’s world servers have been down more often than not since the game’s midnight “launch”. Blizzard has been scrambling to address connection issues, lag, and a handful of nasty bugs that they missed during the beta testing period.

Errors 37, 3003, and most recently 75 have each tormented me at one point or another since Mr. Maroon and I sat down this morning to play. Still, we’ve managed to reach level 16 so far.

Poor Max

Posted on 05/14/2012 by Mr. Pink

Let this be a lesson to you, Rockstar: never try to compete with the true gods of gaming.

Seriously, though, who else is counting down the minutes to midnight? It’s almost here.

Former Yahoo CEO May Owe Company $7 Million

Posted on 05/14/2012 by Mr. Pink

Depending on how the company terminates him, former Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson may end up owing the company as much as $7 million due to the structure of the signing bonus he received when Yahoo hired him back in January. The bonus was cash and stock.

Thompson, who got caught lying about his education, agreed to step down over the weekend.

UPDATE: Thompson won’t be required to pay back the bonus – but he gets no severance.

Minecraft 360 Breaks One Million Sales

Posted on 05/14/2012 by Mr. Pink

The Xbox 360 port of Minecraft has been something of a success. Not only did it shatter all previous launch day sales and play records on Xbox Live Arcade; it also surpassed the one million sales mark this morning and people have already spent 2.4 million hours playing.

Considering that it’s only been available for five days, that’s kind of insane.

CBS Cancels CSI: Miami

Posted on 05/14/2012 by Mr. Pink

I have sad news for those of you who are fans of David Caruso and his meme-inducing CSI: Miami protagonist Horatio Caine: the show has been canceled after nearly a decade.

Both the original CSI and CSI: New York survived the cut. Miami was canned due to decline in ratings and increasing production costs in recent seasons.
